Abstract
Bloodborne pathogens are becoming increasingly prevalent in, and therefore contributing increasing levels of risk to, the health-care work-place environment. This problem is magnified in the blood-intense operating room and obstetric environments. Whereas we will never be able to eliminate such risks entirely from the health-care workplace, a multifaceted approach to the management of these risks throughout the hospital environment and particularly in risk-intense environments will likely create a safer milieu and climate. Such an improved environment will clearly be necessary as we continue to strive to provide optimal care for all patients, irrespective of their bloodborne infection status.
